This time, Boluogo had a dream, a very long dream. He dreamed that countless humans were living in the darkness, and everyone was trembling and terrified.
Everyone lives in the haze of darkness, until one night, someone uses hay and dead trees to light the first torch to illuminate the darkness.
First there was a small flame, then more and more torches were lit. Countless firelights gathered together and turned into a raging bonfire that could illuminate the darkness.
In order to continue the life of fire, humans have burned out all the combustibles. In order to continue this light, Boluogo dreamed that one after another human beings sacrificed themselves and walked into the fire, allowing their bodies to be burned.
Ashes turned into raging fire.
The dead left behind dark and broken bones, and the successors stood on their corpses and became the same dead bones. Generation after generation filled in the dead bones, and the dead bones gathered into a tower. It piled higher and higher, and the flames in the bone cage also increased.
It became more and more intense, and even it turned into a tall tower that reached directly to the sky and the earth. No matter how stormy or rainy it rained, it could not be extinguished in the slightest.
Through successive sacrifices, human civilization continues in the darkness, and they are no longer content to linger in the darkness.
Towers were built, facing the stars.
Human beings are like fools, trampling on each other's bodies, crawling on human-made towers, stretching out their hands with all their strength, trying to pluck the stars from the dome of the night sky.
How could this possibly be touched?
The tower collapsed, and countless figures fell to the ground, becoming bloody and bloody, staining the earth red. A strong sense of death lingered on the earth, but this failed to stop mankind's thirst for knowledge.
They threw the corpse of the deceased into the fire, stepped onto the red-hot charcoal again, endured the pain, rebuilt the tower, and explored the stars again.
Collapse, recast, collapse, recast...
Like reincarnation, such scenes continued to play out in front of Boluogo's eyes, so much so that Boluogo's hazy consciousness felt a touch of absurdity about it.
Human beings are carrying out foolish acts in vain, punishing themselves with this inexplicable pain, but after ten years, hundreds, and thousands of years, a time scale that is so long that even Boluogo feels dazed, Boluogo notices.
In the thousands of repetitions, in each destined destruction, there is always something left behind by the toppling tower.
The foundation made of countless bones.
It was only as big as a tree trunk at first, but now it is as majestic as the mountains, and the cast human tower is like the mountains half submerged in the sky. It may collapse again in the near future, but it is destined to be built again.
.
No one told Bologo the answer, but he knew it instinctively.
Then...Bologo opened his eyes.
The sense of drowsiness in the dream was fleeting, and Boluogo felt a little headache. After a few seconds of relief, he looked around and found that he had woken up in a slightly unfamiliar environment again.
Sublimation furnace core? Or scholar's palace?
Looking at the familiar architectural styles around him, Boluogo guessed that he had not been unconscious for too long, so that these people had not had time to send him to a border sanatorium.
Standing up, except for being a little tired, Bologo felt no other strange feeling. He called out the ether, and the ether intensity belonging to the defender was released from Bologo's body.
Bologna became the base keeper.
This piece of information was like a seal, connecting Bologo's chaotic memories together, and immediately made Bologo aware of the current situation.
As if waking up from a big dream, Boluogo took a deep breath, his relaxed expression tightened, he straightened his messy clothes, pushed the door open and left.
Walking through the deserted corridor, Boluogo heard faint conversations coming from the front. After passing through another door, the familiar dim dome came into view.
garden.
At this time, the garden looked as if it had been invaded by an enemy. Most of the towers collapsed, and the rows of restraint spiers also fell. Huge cables broke from the middle, and thick pipelines hung down like ruptured intestines.
Many employees were rushing to make repairs, and there were constant crackling sounds. Boluogo suspected that his consciousness was shocked during the promotion ceremony. Now these noises are extremely harsh to his ears, like sharp knives, rubbing against his eardrums.
what happened?
Boluogo was confused about the plot after waking up. He tentatively shouted, "Flia!"
The sound spread quickly from near to far, but did not elicit any response.
This is true, Freya is not a puppy, how can she come at a moment's notice, and moreover she can come at a moment's notice from anywhere.
Boluogo was about to search further. When he turned around, three Freyas appeared in front of him. Freya always seemed to appear in three people, and each of them spoke in one sentence.
"ah!"
Regarding the sudden appearance of Freya, Boluogo couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.
The elusive Freyas not only bring convenience to the staff, but also bring a lot of psychological pressure.
"Where's Mamo? Where's Amu?" After calming down, Bologo asked quickly.
The three of Freya looked at each other and answered together.
"Border Sanatorium."
…
There was only one person sitting alone on the chair in the swaying car: Boluogo. Now he was taking the subway to the border sanatorium. He was the only one in the entire subway, which was a privilege reserved for him.
After becoming the person in charge and assuming the position of team leader, apart from being unable to open the door at will in the reclamation room and accessing forbidden information, Bologo felt that the Bureau of Order no longer had any substantive restrictions on him.
Now that he has been promoted to a defender and has obtained crucial information from the ethereal realm, Bologo feels that even if his authority is not as good as that of deputy director Nesanil, it should not be much different.
The messy thoughts dispersed in his mind, and Boluogo turned to think of what was really important.
"Your promotion ceremony was successful, but some problems arose after the success."
Freya said and made a gesture with her hands.
"Wow, a big explosion!"
She should be referring to the collapse of the channel.
"The garden was almost destroyed, but fortunately Mamo took action in time and saved everything." Another Freya said.
"But he's still too old."
"I'm so old."
They answered one after another.
"Mamo was injured. After maintaining the status quo, he passed out. You did the same. You said something about 'unity' and fell down too."
"The only ones who are awake now are Aimu, Bailey and others. Fortunately, they made wise choices in time."
Freya explained to Bologo what happened when he was unconscious.
When he said this, even if Freya didn't explain, Boluoge understood what happened next.
Bologg is an undead person, so even if he dies and turns into a ball of rotten flesh, it won't be a big problem. Therefore, after Aimu and Bailey settled Bologg, they immediately took Mamo to the border sanatorium.
After learning all this, Boluoge also left the room, got on the subway, and rushed towards the border sanatorium.
In the silence, there was only a slight rumbling sound accompanying Boluogo. Boluogo was thinking. Now he has been successfully promoted to a defender and has mastered the power of the extreme realm to a certain extent. With the speed of the power of the extreme realm,
If he runs at full speed, he should be able to reach the border sanatorium faster than the subway.
Just thinking about it, Boluogo has not used his power so unscrupulously.
"The defender... Phew, we are only one step away from promotion."
Boluogo clenched his fists habitually, observing the changes in his muscles, the prominent blood vessels and bones on his skin.
The glow of the ether lit up slightly, and Boluogo felt his further strengthened secret energy. He squinted his eyes, and the light filled Boluogo's eyes.
Borogo looked at the metal carriage opposite him, and he saw it.
As if his eyes had turned into magnifying glasses, Borogo could clearly observe the texture and dents on the metal surface. He could even go one step further and peer under the metal into the complex structure of the entire carriage. They were like design drawings.
Ge's eyes were clearly spread out, and every inch of metal and parts were displayed before his eyes.
Bologg shifted his gaze from the metal to his fist. The flesh and blood no longer hindered Bologg's vision. He could clearly see the complicated capillaries, bones, and nerves under the skin... all at a glance.
"More refined and narrower control?" Bologo said to himself.
After being promoted to a defender, Bologo's power of control has been further strengthened, and this time he can truly control matter at the microscopic level.
The specific energy efficiency is still unknown to Bologe. After all, he has no time to familiarize himself with and train his new secret power. However, this does not prevent Bologe from fantasizing about his own abilities.
When you complete the ascension ceremony and become a Glorious One, will you be able to truly and completely distort the microscopic level of matter?
Just like the qualitative change of metals studied by scholars, this itself is an essential interference change in the metal at the microscopic level.
If Boluogo can really achieve this level of change, control, and control, then he can also achieve the transformation of metal... turning stone into gold.
"It's really worrying..."
Boluogo released the secret power and leaned back.
While he was worried about Mamo's situation, he was eager to tell him what he had seen and heard in the etheric realm, and he was even more eager to learn about the new power he had mastered.
When the sublime person is in the third stage of power-bearing status, he or she will undergo etherification, transforming from an ordinary life into an extraordinary existence. The same characteristic change will also be found in the fourth stage of the defenders. Scholars
We call this territorialization.
No matter what school the Sublime Ones are in, when they are in the fourth stage, their own secret energy will show a certain degree of domainization, causing deeper distortions of reality in the surrounding areas.
This is reflected in Holt, Red Dog and others. Although Boluogo did not activate the secret power, he could faintly feel the existence of the realm.
Taking itself as the origin, the range within a few meters is like an extension of Bologo's body. Distorting the reality within this range is as simple as manipulating the arm to swing a sword.
The qualitative change in strength also brought about a change in fighting style. When Bologe was further thinking about how to grow, the subway slowly stopped, the door opened, and Bologg arrived at the station.
After the guidance of the doctors, Boluogo found Mamo in an intensive care unit. He seemed to be in a bad condition. His body was covered with tubes, and the transparent infusion tube was filled with scarlet blood.
The doctors seemed to be performing a major blood transfusion on him, removing impurities, and then injecting expensive alchemical solution into his body to replace his original blood and participate in his body circulation.
This complete extracorporeal circulation device is enough to suspend anyone's life, but it will not bring much benefit to Mamo. He is a glorious person, and his body has been highly etherified. Doctors can save his flesh and blood body, but it is difficult to cure him.
The extraordinary part.
Mamo looked terrible, but it didn't seem that bad. After all, he actually had the energy to raise his hand to say hello to Bologg after he saw him entering the house.
"Hey, you woke up quickly enough, Boluogo."
Mamo's voice was hoarse. If not for his strong protest, the doctors would have inserted the breathing tube into his throat.
"Are you going to die?" Boluogo said unceremoniously.
"A bit of a sign of death."
Mamo looked at his body very rationally, and then said very optimistically, "But it looks like I can hold on for a while longer."
"That's good."
Bologg stood beside Mamo's hospital bed. On the other side of the room were Bailey and Aimu, who had been silent since Bologg entered the room.
Both of them are scholars. They have been studying with Mamo since he became active again. For Bailey and Aimu, Mamo is like their teacher.
The two of them knew Mamo's condition very well and couldn't help but feel sad and sad.
"Who else knows these things?" Borlog asked again.
"The decision-making room has been notified. Everyone who should know should know." Bailey tried her best to answer calmly.
Everyone was well aware of Mamo's condition, but when it really happened, it was still a little hard to accept.
"If you want to die, wait until I finish speaking before you die." Boluogo leaned down and said with a somewhat forced tone.
Boluogo has seen too much death in his life. He is not a cold and heartless person. He will also feel uneasy when death comes to those around him.
But compared to the secret he was about to tell Mamo, the so-called sadness was nothing. Mamo might even be glad that he did not die so quickly.
"What did you find within the ether?"
Mamo realized what Bologo meant.
"I know what the secret source is, and I have found out its truth." Boluogo whispered.
"What is it?" Mamo's eyes widened.
"devil."
Burlogo speaks clearly and there is absolutely no possibility of misunderstanding.
"A devil who created the alchemical matrix and used it to make deals with all mankind and all crystallizers."
Boluogo showed a sly smile and looked at Mamo's expression. "The Sublime One uses the alchemy matrix as a medium to make a wish to the secret source by consuming ether, and the wish will gain the power to distort reality."
Mamo's expression gradually became dull, frozen like a sculpture. Bailey and Aimu noticed that something was wrong with Mamo's appearance, and then Boluoge also noticed this, feeling secretly unhappy.
A few seconds later, the instrument read out a series of piercing alarm sounds, and Mamo sat up in one breath and tore off several infusion tubes.
"Sublimation furnace core!"
Mamo held Boluogo's shoulders and shouted loudly, "Take me back to the sublimation furnace core!"
